Every morning I was getting up, and heading out back to check on my tomato plants. I would get super excited to see red tomatoes on the plants, but when I got closer to pick them, I could see that something had been munching on them! This happened with every red tomato. It was driving me crazy!! So my brother and I built this nice cage made out of chicken wire around the plants. When we realized that those beautiful red tomatoes were still getting eaten, we added some netting over the top. Problem solved!! The tomatoes are now mine!
When we built the cage, we made it so the sides can open and close, however, afterwords we realized that we should have given ourselves more room to walk around the plants. It is a little tight in the tomato cage, especially for me and my giant pregnant belly. Oh well, we will know better next year!
